So many from Camp Lejeune died in the terrorist attack that claimed a total of 241 American Marines and Sailors. Friday morning's ceremony will take place at the Beirut Memorial in Jacksonville at 10:30 AM. The Marine Corps League will hold a public Beirut memorial wreath laying ceremony at the Beirut marker at Camp Geiger at 2 PM.

Thank you to all who think of us and especially pray for us today. My Dad was killed in the bombing and I miss him everyday. God Bless those who serve and protect this country.

My late husband, Cpl. Ray Page was one of the fallen soldiers that day. So many people do not remember that attack on our marines. It is so sad. These men deserve to be remembered just as the soldiers that have died in Iraq and Afganistan. These men were on a peacekeeping mission and should be remembered as such. 1st Blt. 8th Marines will always be remembered in my heart. God Bless the USA! SEMPER FI!

Well, Mr. Hendrickson, there are those who will not tell you "thanks." You will find that out on your own. I feel sorry for all of you who have duped into believing all of the propoganda.
